Belonging/Chez Nous/ Pertencer: Finding identity through film

Getting a snapshot into someone else’s experience and perspective is often the fastest way to realize how much we actually have in common.

That’s the idea behind the 43 short films below.


Organised by Manifesta and Runnymede, the Belonging Project brought together young people from Paris, Lisbon and London to make and then share short films that explore the themes of migration, identities and forming new communities.

The result? 43 vehicles that deliver the first hand voices of urban newcomer youth – and a global audience to share it with.
